(from A Kahn Design Press Release) Introducing the Kahn Dorchester edition

London/England, January, 2012 – At this precise moment, in the heart of Afzal Kahn’s methodical H.Q where all designs come to realisation, the finishing touches have been applied to a new 3.6 Range Rover Vogue 2012 model, which has been duly transformed into a ‘Velvet beauty’ and presented as the Kahn Dorchester edition.

Featuring the kind of treatment that makes A. Kahn Design’s bespoke vehicles a favourite amongst discerning clients – a new aerodynamic Cosworth styling package compliments the Range Rover’s already flawless surface.

A new front and rear bumper accrued melodiously with Range Rover aesthetics draws you in like a guiding light.

Furthermore, a Kahn stainless steel quad exhaust system, side skirts, brake callipers finished in heat resistant red paint, billet steering wheel, machined aluminium pedals, bespoke door handles, Kahn mats, front and rear park assist, heated front seats, rear entertainment system, welcome ambient illumination package and as 3.6TDV8 Cosworth conversion – exhibits an increased level of interaction coupled with a sense of motor supremacy, performance and style.

Inside is the bespoke touch and this particular vehicle comes complete with a Dorchester buttoned Kahn interior. This truly is something out of the ordinary: with the finest perforated and quilted leather.

However, we provide our customers with the opportunity to express one’s individuality. And they can have whatever they want. We could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your shirt and an interior the same shade of your living room, the choice is yours.

Kahn wheels sit perfectly, on any vehicle, conveying the essence of the vehicle’s identity. Created using state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology, the 22” Kahn RS alloy wheels finished in matt pearl grey fit all original centre caps.

With simple clean lines, soft organic surfaces on the edge of the spoke and a purposeful mechanical centre, the RS wheels are synonymous with elegance and innovation.

A. Kahn Design is for the individual who will not submit to a life of uniformity and who will only accept perfection. Dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles, we redesign the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuild them into individually tailored creations.

Available in petrol and diesel models, in right hand or left hand drive, this vehicle exudes nonchalance and style.

(from A Kahn Design Press Release) A. Kahn Design’s Range Rover Evoque

London/December 2011 – Afzal Kahn’s latest project is this new mini-sport utility vehicle: the smallest ever Range Rover. We all know it’s called an Evoque, but allow A. Kahn Design to put into words just why this particular vehicle sets the benchmark.

With over 90 percent of buyers set to be ‘newcomers’ to the product, and younger, more urban and a great deal more female than traditional customers – Afzal Kahn’s dalliance with the Evoque offers a whole new breadth of excitement, taking the vehicle to a whole new dimension.

The A. Kahn Design Evoque is wholly unmistakable, with every external modification serving to coax greater performance from the car.

The principal British designer’s philosophy was always to combine mechanical perfection and exterior beauty, and as you can see, the Evoque’s smooth contour is immediately recognisable with an outstanding styling package consisting of a lowered suspension (35mm), yellow calipers, aluminum pedals, orange roof, (additional colours available), full body colour coding/detailing, privacy glass, touch screen sat nav and adaptive front headlamps all draw you in like a guiding light.

Inside is the bespoke touch: we provide our customers with the opportunity to express one’s individuality. And they can have whatever they want. Afzal Kahn could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your jeans and an interior with seats the same shade of lets say, a grey T-shirt. Customers could change the colour of the clock, or ask for anything else, the world is their oyster, so to speak.

Evolved through artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology: our unique RS600 wheels, (available in 20” 21” 22” although additional wheels are also available), exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: creating something that is unique but refined enough to both complement and enhance each and every vehicle.

Additional trinkets include diamond gear selector, RS300 rev counter, Cosworth speedo, Cosworth time clock facia insert, Cosworth stainless steel door entry sill plates, Cosworth machined aluminum vented foot pedals, Cosworth quad diagonal exhaust system, calipers (painted in special heat resistant paint and available in a choice of colours) and Kahn branding – all of which are positively addictive and demonstrate improved interaction coupled with a sense of motor supremacy, performance and style.

Inside is the ‘bespoke touch’, and although this particular vehicle has an ivory interior – we always provide our customers with the opportunity to express one’s individuality, and they can have whatever they want. Afzal Kahn could, for example, design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your jeans and an interior with seats the same shade of lets say, a grey T-shirt. Customers could change the colour of the clock, or ask for anything else, the world is their oyster, so to speak.

Kahn wheels sit perfectly, on any vehicle, conveying the essence of the vehicle’s identity. Created using state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology, the Kahn RS/R wheels are available in 9.5 x 22 and 10.5 x 22.

Fine tuning program for Range Rover 5.0i V8 Supercharged
HAMANN refines the English luxury SUV

Shortly after the presentation of the fine-tuned Porsche Panamera, HAMANN presents the Range Rover V8 Supercharged 5.0i Premium already as the next model that will benefit from an extensive overhaul. Exclusive bodywork, performance, and a new interior program has been developed, making the luxury SUV appear much more dynamic.

As with all previous vehicles, here too, HAMANN placed high emphasis on perfectly fitting parts for the Range Rover, while at the same time, using a sporty and unique design. Precisely matching details require high standards that HAMANN sets for itself and its products in order to make the wide body from England a real eye-catcher. Using a new front spoiler with larger cooling air inlets and harmoniously integrated LED daytime running lights make the HAMANN SUV a lot brawnier when you catch sight of it in the rear-view mirror. This impression is reinforced by the wider wings, forming a single unit with the newly designed side skirts, adding about 60 mm more width to the vehicle in front and 70 mm at the rear.

At the back, a newly designed skirt comes into play, using stainless steel exhaust pipes from the HAMANN sports exhaust system, integrated into the centre. Upon request, a carbon roof spoiler generates additional downforce and provides greater stability at high speeds.

Thus, in order to support enormous visual appearance also from a drive dynamic point of view, HAMANN boosted the Range Rover V8 engine as well. With about 530 HP/390 kW and a huge torque of 660 Nm at 2,600 RPM, the HAMANN optimized Range Rover surpasses the original figures by a long chalk (series: 510 PS / 375 kW and 625 Nm at 2,500 RPM). This leap in performance is made possible by using an entirely new exhaust system, complete with X-manifold, center pipe, and perfected engine electronics The performance, too, benefits from these modifications. The HAMANN accelerates from a stand-still to highway speed in just 6.0 seconds, reaching a top speed of up to 227 km/h.

All the while, maintaining contact to the road with striking HAMANN light-alloy rims. These improve the handling and significantly raise the car’s looks. The ultra-lightweight, three-part forged wheel with the designation DESIGN EDITION RACE “ANODIZED” is equipped with tires, size 295/35R22, which guarantee the powerful grip.
Whether you like it sporty, distinctive, elegant, or classy – HAMANN can offer you a variety of wheel designs and sizes.

As for all other vehicles by HAMANN, the same applies to the Range Rover 5.0i V8 Supercharged: the customer can have almost infinite number of combinations of leather, Alcantara, wood, carbon or aluminium trim, to put together his own personal interior. Upon request, the HAMANN can produce anything your heart’s desires. From personalized foot mats to complete interior leather finish, everything is made with the highest degree of craftsmanship and precision. Individually designed and integrated into the vehicle by masters of their craft.

(from A Kahn Design Press Release) Kahn Aston Martin DB9 Volante: licensed to style

London – October 2011 – In hard-top form, the Ferrari Bianco white Project Kahn DB9 Aston Martin Volante is sublime, an irresistible mix of style, elegance, majesty, tradition, comfort and practicality that James Bond himself would be proud off, especially with the unique number plate attached!
Afzal Kahn insists the Aston Martin DB9 was not designed to be a boy’s toy. It was designed, says the principal British designer, “to be comfortable, elegant and a powerful long-distance vehicle.”
The chassis on which the Kahn Volante also takes much of the credit – It’s a mixture of extruded, stamped and die-cast aluminum, bonded together into an extremely light yet rigid superstructure. The shape, is beautifully proportioned and – unlike many convertible cars – looks the part whether the hood is up or down. The hood itself is a fully retractable soft top affair that folds down in 17 seconds, making it entirely possible to stow it when waiting at traffic lights without the risk of being embarrassingly caught half way through the process.

The Kahn Aston Martin Volante’s silky styling package consists of a Kahn Sports exhaust, Sports lowered suspension, red calipers and privacy glass. Of course on smooth roads all is well, a 6.0-litre V12 engine, six-speed ZF automatic with paddle shift, rear wheel drive, electrically-retracting soft-top, an entertainment system that can easily compete with the wind noise and, best of all, the delicacy and razor-sharp engineering ensures it’s certainly an interesting vehicle to drive.

The interior offers a sense of occasion unmatched at this point with beautifully finished dials, lustrous black leather in cream stitching, secondary hide in cream and pearl grey interior detailing. However, should you require an interior to match your exact specification, Afzal Kahn and his team will be more than happy to oblige.

Furthermore, our unique 20” RSV Kahn lightweight wheels, in matt pearl grey, exemplify what A. Kahn Design is all about: creating something that is both unique but refined enough to both complement and enhance each and every vehicle.

Fans have already asked @Afzalkahn if this vehicle will make an appearance in the latest installment of the 007 trilogy, well, all we can say on that score is, you’ll just have to wait for the movie to come out in November 2012!
